Eructoblaster (2043) - Gatineau, Quebec, CANADA - SEP 11, 2005
Average gold body with good carbonation and a thin white bubbly head. Fair malty/hoppy aroma with some flowery, herbal, and bready notes. Unexciting watery taste that carries some CO2 and metallic hints. Ends with an unpleasant metallic finish. The only cool thing with that beer is the bottle...

Faint malt nose, golden amber, pours a finger of white foam and a trace of lace. Corn is the predominent flavour. Corn syrup stickiness. Poor.

Just another beer that copies the regular old American swill. The new aluminum bottle really did it for me. Pale gold, lots of fizz in the short head. Lots of gas and club soda. Corn syrup and the faintest of hop. I’m so happy I get to try beers like this. Soley a number. Wow.

Very true to type. Taste is more robust than most macro lagers. No surprises here. Aroma is malt with some hops. Appearance is golden with a thin head. Flavor is sweet and bitter with some corn. Palate is better than average for a lager. No complexity, but not bad.

Thanks to Fatty, I mean, thanks a lot man. Pours a very light yellow with no head. Smells like fresh cut grass thats a little wet and sticks to your sneakers. Flavor is bad, kind of like the wet grass it smelled like.

piscator34 (1582) - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - AUG 31, 2005
Gold on colour with medium carbonation and a fast head. Some malty aromas to this one, along with a touch of corn. Fairly malty in flavor as well, with some faint notes of caramel and earthy hops. It’s basically a half-step up from your typical North American macro, but nothing worth celebrating. Cool aluminum bottle though. Thanks to radiomgb for the interesting extra.

[Aluminium bottle from LCBO] Nice, bright gold colour with some white wisps and a ring of fine bubbles. The aroma is a light, crisp noble hops with very little malt and a hint of metal can. The flavour is very clean and pleasant, but really not very existant. I would probably really enjoy this beer if it were a lot less watery. What little flavour exists just disappears at the end of the sample. Also, there should be a little more bitterness. Light body and medium carbonation.

(Aluminum Bottle) Tastes very much like my dads beer 25 years ago. I like the bottle/can. Nothing great, but drinkable.
